Patent CA-2427038-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RUETHER HORST
IPC: G01F23/14
Filed: 2003-04-29
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the current filling level of a liquid, preferably a calibrating, quality control, or cleaning fluid, or waste water, in a container, far example of an analyzer, where an immersion pipe is dipped into the liquid in the container to be filled or drained, which immersion pipe is connected to a pumping device via a tube system. The invention proposes that the pressure p in the tube system should be measured and increased, starting from the ambient pressure p0, until a first discontinuous pressure change occurs at pressure p1 due to the liquid column in the immersion pipe being forced out of the pipe, and/or that the pressure p in the tube system should be decreased until the liquid column in the immersion pipe reaches a change in cross-section of the immersion pipe, which change is situated above the maximum filling level of the liquid, such that a second discontinuous pressure change occurs at pressure p2 due to the liquid column reaching the change in cross-section, and that the pressure difference between ambient pressure p0 and the pressure p1 or p2 at one of the two pressure discontinuities or the time t1 or t2 until one of the two pressure discontinuities is reached, should tie recorded and used to determine the current filling level of the container.

Patent CA-2433992-A1 (CA)
Title: Needleless syringe
Inventor: BELLHOUSE BRIAN JOHN
IPC: A61M5/30
Filed: 2002-01-11
Abstract: There is disclosed a method of distributing particles in a flow of gas and a  needleless syringe for use in the needleless injection of particles into the  skin or mucosa of a vertebrate subject. The syringe has the advantage that n o bursting membranes are required, reducing noise, and that the particles are substantially uniformly distributed in the gas stream. This is achieved by providing a convergence which reduces pressure of the gas flowing in the gas  flow path due to the Venturi effect such that particles initially located outside of the gas flow path are drawn into the gas flow path under the acti on of the reduced pressure and become entrained in the gas. An exit nozzle is provided to accelerate the particles so entrained. In another aspect of the invention, there is provided a method of creating a gas flow in a needleless  syringe which comprises flowing gas through a first convergence into a chamb er to form a transsonic gas jet in the chamber and passing the gas jet from the  chamber into a second convergence and along the nozzle. This provides an advantageous flow regime suitable for the needleless injection of powders.</ SDOAB>

Title: Aero-engine exhaust jet noise reduction assembly
Inventor: TSE MAN-CHUN
IPC: F02K1/34
Filed: 2001-12-13
Abstract: A gas turbine engine (10) of a fan bypass type includes an exhaust shroud (60) having a perforated tubular wall (62) extending between a forward end (64) and an aft end (66). The exhaust shroud is adapted to be affixed to a gas turbine engine exhaust for discharging engine exhaust gases without substantial blockage thereto. The perforations (68) formed in the shroud wall communicate the regions at both sides of the shroud wall to pass fluid flow across the perforated shroud wall so that the mixing of the engine exhaust gases with a surrounding fluid flow is enhanced. The mixing of the engine exhaust gases with the surrounding fluid flow is further enhanced by a trailing edge (70) of the exhaust shroud. The trailing edge is deviated from a straight line in a circumferential direction of the tubular wall to effectively increase the peripheral length of the mixing boundary. Thus, the jet noise contribution volume of the engine exhaust gases is effectively reduced, thereby significantly reducing the aero-engine jet noise. The exhaust shroud for enhancing the mixing of engine exhaust gases with the surrounding fluid flow is applicable to both short and long cowl nacelle gas turbine engines and is simple and economical to manufacture and maintain.

Patent CA-2447094-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KEKEZ MLADEN MARKO
IPC: H02N11/00
Filed: 2003-10-28
Abstract: A device for generating an intense radio frequency pulse through use of a helical Magneto-Cumulative Generator (MCG). The MCG provides a chemical explosion and acts as a converter to transform the chemical/mechanical energy into an electrical energy impulse.  Due to the detonation/combustion process, a vortex wake is produced which assumes the role of a quarterwave trap/antenna. If the MCG is in high velocity flight, a bow-shaped shockwave, followed by a second shock front, is established around the head of the MCG, becoming a second antenna. Without flight, two MCG's are placed head-to-head so that the vortex wakes emit in opposite directions. Since the explosion destroys the MCG, a model is created to perform multiple tests of the ability of an MCG to act as an RF device.
